Italy: Buzzi Unicem has presented a binding offer to buy Sacci's cement and ready-mix concrete units as it pushes ahead with plans to play an active role in the consolidation of the construction materials sector in Italy, according to Reuters. In a statement, Buzzi said that it had offered a provisional price of Euro74m to be financed through liquidity on hand and / or existing credit facilities. A further variable outlay is expected on top of the original commitment, which will be worth no less than Euro25m. This variable outlay is connected to certain future events, most importantly the core earnings, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), posted in Italy in the next four years.
